TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention relates to a novel organopolysiloxane having a siloxane residue or silphenylene residue having a silicon atom-bonded hydrogen atom in an organopolysiloxane resin block, production method thereof, and a curable silicone composition containing the organopolysiloxane.

BACKGROUND ART

Curable silicone compositions that are cured by hydrosilylation reaction to form cured products having a high refractive index and high light transmittance have been used as protective agents, coating agents, or sealing agents for semiconductor elements in optical semiconductor devices such as photocouplers, light emitting diodes (LEDs), solid-state image sensing devices, or the like. As such a curable silicone composition, a curable silicone composition comprising: a straight-chain organopolysiloxane having, in a molecule, at least two alkenyl groups and at least one aryl group; a branched-chain organopolysiloxane having, in a molecule, at least one alkenyl group and at least one aryl group, and having siloxane units represented by general formula: RSiO3/2 (in the formula, R is a substituted or unsubstituted monovalent hydrocarbon group); an organopolysiloxane having, in a molecule, at least two silicon atom-bonded hydrogen atoms; and a hydrosilylation catalyst has been known (see Patent Document 1).

As organopolysiloxanes having a silicon atom-bonded hydrogen atom, straight-chain, branched-chain, or resin-like organopolysiloxanes have been used; however, to enhance mechanical characteristics or the like of the resulting cured product obtained by curing a curable silicone composition, Patent Documents 2 and 3 propose use of an organopolysiloxane that is composed of an organopolysiloxane resin block and a diorganopolysiloxane block, and that has a resin structure having a silicon atom-bonded hydrogen atom.

Patent Documents 2 and 3 describe production of an organopolysiloxane by subjecting an organotrichlorosilane, a diorganopolysiloxane in which silicon atoms at both molecular terminals are capped with halogen atoms, chlorosilane having a silicon atom-bonded hydrogen atom, and chlorosilane having an alkenyl group to a co-hydrolytic condensation reaction. However, such methods cannot prepare an organopolysiloxane having a siloxane residue or silphenylene residue having a silicon atom-bonded hydrogen atom in an organopolysiloxane resin block.

Meanwhile, Patent Document 4 describes a branched-chain organopolysiloxane having a siloxane residue having a silicon atom-bonded hydrogen atom as the organopolysiloxane of Formula 16. However, in Patent Document 4, an organopolysiloxane having a siloxane residue or silphenylene residue having a silicon atom-bonded hydrogen atom in an organopolysiloxane resin block is not suggested.

Furthermore, Patent Document 5 describes preparation of a solvent-soluble organopolysiloxane by subjecting an organopolysiloxane resin having an alkenyl group and a diorganopolysiloxane having silicon atom-bonded hydrogen atoms at both molecular terminals to a hydrosilylation reaction at an amount such that the amount of the silicon atom-bonded hydrogen atoms in the diorganopolysiloxane is less than 1 mol per 1 mol of alkenyl groups in the organopolysiloxane resin. However, in Patent Document 5, an organopolysiloxane having a siloxane residue or silphenylene residue having a silicon atom-bonded hydrogen atom in an organopolysiloxane resin block is not suggested.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

First, the organopolysiloxane of the present invention will be described in detail.

The organopolysiloxane of the present invention is represented by the following average unit formula:
(R1SiO3/2)a(XR22SiO1/2)b(O1/2SiR22—Y—R22SiO1/2)c

In the average unit formula above, R1 and R2 each independently represent an alkyl group having from 1 to 12 carbons, aryl group having from 6 to 20 carbons, or aralkyl group having from 7 to 20 carbons. Specific examples include alkyl groups such as a methyl group, ethyl group, propyl group, isopropyl group, butyl group, isobutyl group, tert-butyl group, pentyl group, neopentyl group, hexyl group, cyclohexyl group, octyl group, nonyl group, and decyl group; aryl groups such as a phenyl group, tolyl group, xylyl group, and naphthyl group; and aralkyl groups such as a benzyl group, phenethyl group, and phenylpropyl group. Note that, due to capability of making refractive index of the organopolysiloxane higher, at least 10 mol % of R1 are aryl groups having from 6 to 20 carbons, and preferably phenyl groups.

In the average unit formula above,

X represents an alkenyl group having from 2 to 12 carbons or a siloxane residue represented by the following general formula (1):
HR32SiO(R32SiO)nSiR32—R4

and

Y represents a siloxane linking group represented by the following general formula (2):

HR32Si—C6H4—SiR32—R4

and

In the average unit formula above, examples of the alkenyl group for X include a vinyl group, allyl group, isopropenyl group, butenyl group, pentenyl group, hexenyl group, cyclohexenyl group, and octenyl group. Of these, a vinyl group is preferable.

In the general formula (1) above, R3 each independently represent an alkyl group having from 1 to 12 carbons, aryl group having from 6 to 20 carbons, or aralkyl group having from 7 to 20 carbons, and examples include the same groups exemplified for R2 described above.

In the general formula (1) above, R4 is an alkylene group having from 2 to 12 carbons. Specific examples include an ethylene group, propylene group, isopropylene group, butylene group, pentylene group, hexylene group, cyclohexylene group, and octylene group. Of these, an ethylene group is preferable.

In the general formula (1) above, “n” is a number in a range of 0 to 5, preferably a number in a range of 0 to 4 or a number in a range of 0 to 3. This is because, when “n” is a number within the range described above, transparency of the organopolysiloxane resin can be enhanced without lowering the refractive index thereof.

Examples of the siloxane residue represented by the general formula (1) above include the following groups. Note that, in the formula, “n” is an integer in a range of 0 to 5.
H(CH3)2SiO[(CH3)2SiO]nSi(CH3)2—C2H4
H(CH3)2SiO[(CH3)2SiO]nSi(CH3)2—C3H6
H(CH3)2SiO[(CH3)(C6H5)SiO]nSi(CH3)2—C2H4
H(CH3)2SiO[(CH3)(C6H5)SiO]nSi(CH3)2—C3H6

—C2H4—(CH3)2SiO[(CH3)2SiO]nSi(CH3)2—C2H4

—C2H4—(CH3)2SiO[(CH3)(C6H5)SiO]nSi(CH3)2—C2H4
—C3H6—(CH3)2SiO[(CH3)(C6H5)SiO]nSi(CH3)2—C3H6
—C2H4—(CH3)2SiO[(C6H5)2SiO]nSi(CH3)2—C2H4
—C3H6—(CH3)2SiO[(C6H5)2SiO]nSi(CH3)2—C3H6

In the general formula (3) above, R3 and R4 are synonymous with those described above. Examples of the silphenylene residue represented by the general formula (3) above include the following groups.
H(CH3)2Si—C6H4—Si(CH3)2—C2H4
H(CH3)2Si—C6H4—Si(CH3)2—C3H6

In the general formula (4) above, R3 and R4 are synonymous with those described above. Examples of the silphenylene linking group represented by the general formula (4) above include the following groups.
—C2H4—(CH3)2Si—C6H4—Si(CH3)2—C2H4
—C3H6—(CH3)2Si—C6H4—Si(CH3)2—C3H6

Furthermore, in the average unit formula above, “a” is a number in a range of 0.65 to 0.90, “b” is a number in a range of 0.10 to 0.35, “c” is a number in a range of 0 to 0.10, and “a”+“b”+“c”=1.00, and preferably “a” is a number in a range of 0.70 to 0.85, “b” is a number in a range of 0.15 to 0.30, “c” is a number in a range of 0 to 0.07, and “a”+“b”+“c”=1.00. This is because, when “a” is equal to or greater than the lower limit of the range described above, the molecular weight of the organopolysiloxane can be increased high, and a cured product having excellent mechanical strength can be formed when the organopolysiloxane is added to a curable silicone composition. On the other hand, when “a” is equal to or less than the upper limit of the range described above, a large amount of siloxane residue or silphenylene residue having a silicon atom-bonded hydrogen atom can be introduced, and, when the organopolysiloxane is added to a curable silicone composition, the reactivity thereof can be enhanced. Furthermore, this is because, when “b” is equal to or greater than the lower limit of the range described above, the molecular weight of the organopolysiloxane can be lowered, and the handling workability thereof can be enhanced. On the other hand, when “b” is equal to or less than the upper limit of the range described above, a cured product having excellent mechanical strength can be formed when the organopolysiloxane is added to a curable silicone composition. Furthermore, when “c” is within the range described above, when the organopolysiloxane is added to a curable silicone composition, the reactivity and handling workability thereof are enhanced.

Furthermore, although the refractive index (25° C.) of the organopolysiloxane for visible light (589 nm) is not limited, the refractive index is preferably 1.50 or higher. This is because the organopolysiloxane can be advantageously used in optical materials having a high refractive index.

Next, the method of producing the organopolysiloxane of the present invention will be described in detail.

Component (A) is an organopolysiloxane resin represented by the following average unit formula:
(R1SiO3/2)d(R5R22SiO1/2)e

In the formula, R1 and R2 each independently represent an alkyl group having from 1 to 12 carbons, aryl group having from 6 to 20 carbons, or aralkyl group having from 7 to 20 carbons. Specifically, alkyl groups, aryl groups, and aralkyl groups that are similar to those described above are exemplified. Note that, due to capability of making refractive index of the resulting organopolysiloxane higher, at least 10 mol % of R1 are aryl groups having from 6 to 20 carbons, and preferably phenyl groups.

In the formula, R5 is an alkenyl group having from 2 to 12 carbons. Specific examples include a vinyl group, allyl group, isopropenyl group, butenyl group, pentenyl group, hexenyl group, cyclohexenyl group, and octenyl group. Of these, a vinyl group is preferable.

In the formula, “d” is a number in a range of 0.65 to 0.90, “e” is a number in a range of 0.10 to 0.35, and “d”+“e”=1.00, and preferably “d” is a number in a range of 0.70 to 0.85, “e” is a number in a range of 0.15 to 0.30, and “d”+“e”=1.00. This is because, when “d” is equal to or greater than the lower limit of the range described above, i.e. “e” is equal to or less than the upper limit of the range described above, the molecular weight of the resulting organopolysiloxane can be increased high. On the other hand, when “d” is equal to or less than the upper limit of the range described above, i.e. “e” is equal to or greater than the lower limit of the range described above, the reactivity to component (B) will be excellent.

The natures of component (A) at 25° C. are not limited, and for example, component

(A) is solid or liquid having a viscosity of 10 mPa·s or higher, at 25° C.

Component (B) is a raw material for linking the organopolysiloxane resin of component (A) described above, and is (B1) a diorganosiloxane represented by the following general formula:
HR32SiO(R32SiO)nSiR32H

or (B2) a disilylbenzene represented by the following general formula:
HR32Si—C6H4—SiR32H

For component (B1), in the formula, R2 and R3 each independently represent an alkyl group having from 1 to 12 carbons, aryl group having from 6 to 20 carbons, or aralkyl group having from 7 to 20 carbons, and examples thereof are the same as the groups described above.

Furthermore, for component (B1), in the formula, “n” is a number in a range of 0 to 5, and preferably a number in a range of 0 to 4 or a number in a range of 0 to 3. This is because, when “n” is a number within the range described above, transparency of the resulting organopolysiloxane can be enhanced without lowering the refractive index thereof. Note that, for component (B), when all of R2 and R3 in the formula are alkyl groups having from 1 to 12 carbons, “n” is preferably 0.

Examples of such component (B1) include the following diorganosiloxanes.
H(CH3)2SiOSi(CH3)2H
H(CH3)(C6H5)SiOSi(CH3)(C6H5)H
H(CH3)2SiO[(CH3)2SiO]Si(CH3)2H
H(CH3)2SiO[(CH3)(C6H5)SiO]Si(CH3)2H
H(CH3)2SiO[(C6H5)2SiO]Si(CH3)2H
H(CH3)(C6H5)SiO[(CH3)2SiO]Si(CH3)(C6H5)H

For component (B2), in the formula, R3 each independently represent an alkyl group having from 1 to 12 carbons, aryl group having from 6 to 20 carbons, or aralkyl group having from 7 to 20 carbons, and examples thereof are the same as the groups described above.

Examples of such component (B2) include the following disilylbenzenes.
H(CH3)2Si—C6H4—Si(CH3)2H
H(CH3)(C6H5)Si—C6H4—Si(CH3)(C6H5)H

In the production method of the present invention, the added amount of the component (B) is an amount so that the amount of silicon atom-bonded hydrogen atoms in component (B) exceeds 1 mol, and preferably 1.5 mol or greater or 1.8 mol or greater, per 1 mol of alkenyl groups in component (A). This is because, when the added amount of component (B) is equal to or greater than the lower limit of the range described above, introduction of the siloxane residue or silphenylene residue having a silicon atom-bonded hydrogen atom is facilitated.

The hydrosilylation catalyst for accelerating the reaction described above is not limited, and examples include platinum-based catalysts, rhodium-based catalysts, and palladium-based catalysts. In particular, platinum-based catalysts are preferable due to capability of significantly accelerating the hydrosilylation reaction. Examples of the platinum-based catalyst include a platinum fine powder, chloroplatinic acid, an alcohol solution of chloroplatinic acid, a platinum-alkenylsiloxane complex, a platinum-olefin complex, and a platinum-carbonyl complex, and a platinum-alkenylsiloxane complex is particularly preferred. Examples of the alkenylsiloxane include 1,3-divinyl-1,1,3,3-tetramethyldisiloxane, 1,3,5,7-tetramethyl-1,3,5,7-tetravinylcyclotetrasiloxane, alkenylsiloxanes having part of the methyl groups of these alkenylsiloxane substituted by a group such as an ethyl group or phenyl group, and alkenylsiloxanes having vinyl groups of these alkenylsiloxane substituted by a group such as an allyl group or hexenyl group.

The added amount of the hydrosilylation catalyst in the preparation method described above is not limited, and for example, the added amount is preferably an amount at which, in terms of mass, the content of catalyst metals is in a range of 0.01 to 1,000 ppm, and particularly preferably in a range of 0.1 to 500 ppm, relative to the total amount of components (A) and (B). This is because, when the added amount of the hydrosilylation catalyst is equal to or greater than the lower limit of the range described above, the hydrosilylation reaction can be sufficiently accelerated. On the other hand, when the added amount of the hydrosilylation catalyst is equal to or less than the upper limit of the range described above, troubles such as coloration of the resulting organopolysiloxane are less likely to occur.

The reaction conditions in the preparation method described above are not limited, and the reaction can be accelerated by heating. Furthermore, when a solvent such as an aromatic solvent, such as toluene or xylene, or an aliphatic solvent, such as heptane or hexane, is used in this reaction system, the reaction temperature is preferably the reflux temperature of the solvent, and when no organic solvents are used, the reaction temperature is preferably 200° C. or lower. Note that, in this reaction, by using an organic solvent, dewatering of the reaction system can be performed utilizing an azeotrope with water or the like while the viscosity of the reaction system is lowered.

The organopolysiloxane obtained as described above has organopolysiloxane resin blocks linked by siloxy groups or silphenylene groups, and the organopolysiloxane is soluble in solvents such as aromatic solvents, such as toluene and xylene, and aliphatic solvents, such as heptane and hexane. The natures thereof at 25° C. are not particularly limited, and examples thereof include liquid, viscous liquid, and solid.

Since the organopolysiloxane of the present invention contains silicon atom-bonded hydrogen atom in a molecule, by blending this organopolysiloxane to a hydrosilylation curable silicone composition, or by forming a hydrosilylation curable silicone composition by blending this organopolysiloxane, an organopolysiloxane having an alkenyl group, and a hydrosilylation catalyst, a cured product having a suitable elastic modulus can be formed after being cured.

An example of such a curable silicone composition is a hydrosilylation curable silicone composition comprising:

(I) an organopolysiloxane having at least two alkenyl groups in a molecule;

(II) the organopolysiloxane of the present invention, in an amount that an amount of silicon atom-bonded hydrogen atoms in this component is from 0.1 to 10 mol per 1 mol of alkenyl groups in component (I); and

(III) a hydrosilylation catalyst, in an amount that accelerates curing of the present composition.

Component (I) is an organopolysiloxane having at least two alkenyl groups in a molecule. Examples of the alkenyl groups of the component (I) include alkenyl groups having from 2 to 12 carbons such as vinyl groups, allyl groups, butenyl groups, pentenyl groups, hexenyl groups, heptenyl groups, octenyl groups, nonenyl groups, decenyl groups, undecenyl groups, and dodecenyl groups. Of these, vinyl groups are preferred. Examples of the group bonded to a silicon atom, except alkenyl group, of component (I) include alkyl groups having from 1 to 12 carbons, such as a methyl group, ethyl group, propyl group, isopropyl group, butyl group, isobutyl group, tert-butyl group, pentyl group, neopentyl group, hexyl group, cyclohexyl group, heptyl group, octyl group, nonyl group, decyl group, undecyl group, and dodecyl group; aryl groups having from 6 to 20 carbons, such as a phenyl group, tolyl group, xylyl group, and naphthyl group; aralkyl groups having from 7 to 20 carbons, such as a benzyl group, phenethyl group, and phenylpropyl group; and groups in which a part or all of hydrogen atoms in these groups are substituted with halogen atoms, such as fluorine atoms, chlorine atoms, and bromine atoms. Note that the silicon atom in component (I) may have a little amount of hydroxy group and/or alkoxy group such as a methoxy group and ethoxy group in a range that does not impair the object of the present invention.

The molecular structure of component (I) is not limited, and examples thereof include straight-chain, partially-branched straight chain, branched-chain, cyclic, and three-dimensional network structures. Component (I) may be a single organopolysiloxane having such a molecular structure or a mixture of two or more types of organopolysiloxanes having these molecular structures.

The organopolysiloxane of component (II) is as described above. The content of component (II) is an amount so that the amount of silicon atom-bonded hydrogen atom in component (II) is from 0.1 to 10 mol, and preferably from 0.5 to 5 mol, per 1 mol of alkenyl groups in component (I). This is because, when the content of component (II) is equal to or less than the upper limit of the range described above, lowering of mechanical characteristics of the resulting cured product can be suppressed. On the other hand, when the content is equal to or greater than the lower limit of the range described above, the resulting composition sufficiently cures.

Component (III) is a hydrosilylation catalyst for accelerating a hydrosilylation reaction of the present composition. Such a hydrosilylation catalyst of component (III) is not limited, and examples include platinum-based catalysts, rhodium-based catalysts, and palladium-based catalysts. In particular, platinum-based catalysts are preferable due to capability of significantly accelerating the hydrosilylation reaction. Examples of the platinum-based catalyst include similar catalysts described above.

The content of component (III) is an amount that accelerates curing of the present composition, and preferably the content is an amount so that the amount of platinum atoms in component (III), in terms of mass, is in a range of 0.01 to 500 ppm, in a range of 0.01 to 100 ppm, or in a range of 0.1 to 50 ppm, relative to the amount of the present composition. This is because, when the content of component (III) is equal to or greater than the lower limit of the range described above, the resulting composition sufficiently cures. On the other hand, when the content is equal to or less than the upper limit of the range described above, coloration of the resulting cured product is suppressed.

The present composition may contain a reaction inhibitor as an optional component to prolong the usable time at ambient temperature and to enhance storage stability. Examples of such a reaction inhibitor include alkyne alcohols, such as 1-ethynylcyclohexan-1-ol, 2-methyl-3-butyn-2-ol, 3,5-dimethyl-1-hexyn-3-ol, and 2-phenyl-3-butyn-2-ol; enyne compounds, such as 3-methyl-3-penten-1-yne and 3,5-dimethyl-3-hexen-1-yne; methylalkenylsiloxane oligomers, such as 1,3,5,7-tetramethyl-1,3,5,7-tetravinylcyclotetrasiloxane and 1,3,5,7-tetramethyl-1,3,5,7-tetrahexenylcyclotetrasiloxane; alkynoxysilanes, such as dimethyl bis(1,1-dimethyl-2-propyn-oxy)silane and methylvinyl bis(1,1-dimethyl-2-propyn-oxy)silane; and triallylisocyanurate-based compounds.

Furthermore, the present composition may contain an organopolysiloxane having at least two silicon atom-bonded hydrogen atoms in a molecule, other than component (II).
